MYM.DotA welcomes FearDarkness and ezy

 

 

The Internationa- MYM DotA squad has been known to harbor some of DotA's strongest players in the world and now that theory will only grow stronger. MYM has decided to remove United State- Fang from the roster since he will not be returning and will make room for two new recruits!

Canada ezy was a main starter on the complexity team and was feared for his carry role. Ezy was also known to be one of the top ranked players in DotA's first inhouse league, IHL. Fear and ezy retired shortly after coL's disbandment and disappeared from the DotA scene. Ezy came back and joined x6 along with players like Joker until the team disbanded.

Name: Canada John 'ezy' Chow
Age:
19

We caught up with John to hear about his return to competitive DotA:

"I left dota for like a month or two after coL died. When I logged on to play a pub, Fear logged on coincidentally so we started playing together again. We talked about coming back to competitive dota while we tda'd regularly for a couple of weeks. We didn't really have offers from other teams, just two options of sticking with plug or joining MYM. There is definitely a lot more pressure playing with MYM, but it's going well so far."


United State- FearDarkness was once considered the best player in the world during his prime when he led the famed American sponsored team, Complexity. He was also voted as one of the top 10 DotA players of all time in an article on GotFrag.

Name: United State- Clinton 'FearDarkness' Loomis
Age:
20

Clinton shared his thoughts about joining up with MYM:

"I've been debating for a few months now whether or not playing competitive again would be something I want to do. I've had some offers to join other teams, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to join the competitive scene again and questioned the chemistry. I've known most of the MYM players before I took my break from DotA. After a few scrims I decided if I were to rejoin the competitive scene, this would be the best team for me. "


Now both are back and are hastily getting back the reputation they once had. Fear was seen playing with Team USA for MYM Prime Nations #2 and both played Prime Defending #9 with PluG. The DotA community has been eagerly watching and waiting to see if the two would once again continue their DotA career, and now it is official. What better way to continue a competitive DotA career than join one of the world's strongest teams, MYM!

The two have been playing clan wars and practicing with the MYM DotA team behind the scenes for a while now. It is safe to say that Denmark Maelk and the others were impressed with their talent so they decided it would be a shame to waste it. Both are now officially added to the MYM DotA roster and will be participating in future tournaments and leagues with the team!

  Denmark Jacob "Maelk" Toft-Andersen had a lot to say about the additions :
Maelk

"As soon as I heard Fear had come back from his hiatus I went ahead and asked him what his plans were. Turned out he and ezy had reformed PluG (PluG Pullers Inc.), but didn't know what their intentions were. I started playing a lot with them and their team to check ezy and Fear out, always having the secret agenda of adding them to MYM in the back of my head. Didn't take me long to realize their potential and talent. ezy had gone from being the stereotypical infamous North American ricefarmer into being a sublime gankplayer with a very aggressive playstyle - A trade I really appreciate. Fear still had his calm demeanor and cool playstyle as well as having just the kind of thinking and experience I need as a counterpart in MYM. I went ahead and discussed it with the team and we all agreed to start practicing with them to see how it works out chemistry-wise. Didn't take long for all of us to realize that both were still the players they were a year back and that they would fit in perfectly to the roster. This will add more activity, hopefully increase the pace of our game. From a personal point of view, I'm thrilled I won't be talking to myself on Ventrilo any longer!"


In the past, three other American players were seen added to this dreamteam; United State- Merlini, United State- p0c and United State- Fang. Overtime Fang went inactive completely and p0c hasn't been getting much action recently as well. Now it is time for two more powerful North American players to join up with the Euro's on one strong team!

The MYM DotA team is one of the most successful teams in the competitive DotA community. They are undefeated champions at the Dreamhack DotA tournaments, top contenders in MYM Prime Defending and champions of the American LAN tournament, Fire in Ice! They will surely be seen at ESWC this year as well as many events in the future.

You can follow the MYM.DotA team in all their endeavors. They can be seen participating in MYM Prime Defending, MYM Prime Defending League, Dreamhack, ESWC, ESL and many other tournaments! Good luck to ezy and Fear, may they find a new home on the MYM DotA team!

I think so far their best line-up of players has been their euro-team. Hanni, Maelk, Mania, Slasher and levent. When ever either Merlini or P0c plays even though they win the game doesn't go smooth as it does with the other line-up. Either gangs fail, Bad teambattle coordination and close to losing the game. Like almost every recent game with merlini and P0c have all been close wins almost losing while with team Euro it's pure Rape and not raped.

Team all-Euro may work better at times. And they may communicate a little better. But a DotA team may also need 'outside the box' players who, like Merlini, can bring high caliber play and give the team added confidence when the chips are down. If I am a manager, I would like ideally to have both real team chemistry and a few players who can add a diverse view on the game.

Quoting YoSnail:

I would add that my ideal MYM line-up=

Merlini on POTM (of course)
Hanni on Centaur, Tiny or RN,
Maelk on QoP,
Mania on SK,
and Slasher on BM or Viper.

Edit: Actually, I think Levent is even better for that last spot because of his team-play and being clutch.

But we'll have to see what kinds of skills the new guys have.

Would LOVE to see some lesser-used heros used creatively.

IMO, the major thing that distinguishes good DotA teams from great ones is the "art of staying alive" and anticipation.
